Surrender

[Complete]

Ming Zhi is one of the most prestigious socialites in Jinling's wealthy circles. She's rich, beautiful, sexy, and flamboyant. She never imagined she'd end up engaged to an obscure illegitimate son of a prominent family

And become the laughingstock of all the other socialites.

Ming Zhi taps her cigarette with a fingertip. Behind the blue smoke, her lovely face is radiant. With a haughty air, she tosses a check at the refined man across from her. “Let's break up.”

The man slowly takes off his gold-rimmed glasses. His eyes beneath them curve slightly as he walks toward her. He takes the cigarette from her fingers and draws on it, then lifts her chin and forcefully blows the smoke into her mouth.

His thin lips part, and his voice is low and sexy. “Zhi Zhi, you can play however you like. But breaking up is not an option.”

Ming Zhi is baffled. Where did this minor-character fiancé get all these dramatic ideas?

Later

Ming Zhi: Can you believe it? The man who walks me home after dark, opens the car door for me, holds an umbrella over me when it rains, and always gives me limited-edition gifts is so refined and romantic, yet he never loved me for even a second. (I saw this passage online and searched for its source but couldn't find one. It inspired this story. If that's not okay, I'll remove it.)

Before getting to know him well, Ming Zhi thought Fu Jinghuai was a pitiful, helpless man from a prominent family who could only rely on an arranged marriage to find someone strong to lean on. She felt sorry for him and thought he could lean on her shoulder for a while.

After getting to know him, she only felt that this man was cold, heartless, and incapable of love, so she asked to break up.

On a rainy night, Fu Jinghuai waited for a long time outside her apartment, only to see Ming Zhi being driven home by a refined, gentle-looking man. As they passed one another, he grabbed Ming Zhi's wrist and said nothing.

Ming Zhi expressionlessly pried his fingers off one by one.

Fu Jinghuai's eyes were bloodshot. He pulled her into his arms, his voice hoarse as he begged, “Zhi Zhi, don't leave me.”

Bonus scene:

Ming Zhi: I hear that when men do something wrong, they voluntarily kneel on keyboards, durians, or washboards. What would you kneel on?

Fu Jinghuai says nothing, but immediately drops to his knees in front of her, holding up a diamond ring.

“I'll kneel to you.”

He has to win her back, but at heart this is still a sweet romance. And

The author is sweet too.

[Coming soon next door: Unrestrained]

News that the Jiang family's young heiress had been cheated on spread through Jinling's wealthy circles overnight.

Some said, “The Jiang heiress is madly in love with that boyfriend. Even after he cheated, she refuses to break up with him.”

While the rumors were swirling, Jiang Yan attended a lavish banquet with her boyfriend on her arm. Apparently, the guest of honor was his first love.

Just as everyone waited to see a melodramatic love triangle unfold among the wealthy, a grim-looking man pulled Jiang Yan behind a curtain. His gaze was full of possessive intent as his fingertip slowly traced her full, flushed lips. His low voice was restrained as he spoke.

“Baby, when are you breaking up with him?”

“…”

Jiang Rongyu is the madman no one in Jinling dares to provoke. He's dark, obsessive, cold, and ruthless. People have said that he'll never love anyone in his life, and no one will ever love him.

No one knows how much effort Jiang Rongyu put into tying Jiang Yan to his side after learning she had a boyfriend.

All people see is

In broad daylight, Jiang Yan coldly slaps Jiang Rongyu across the face.

The man turns his head, slowly brushes his lips with a finger, and stares at her with bloodshot eyes.

“Yan Yan, you'll never escape me in this life.”

“Not even in death.”

Coming soon: After Divorce, I'm Beautiful and Rich

When Wen Ziqing fell in love with Lin Zhiyan, she disguised herself as a gentle, devoted, obedient girl and successfully married him.

But after three years of marriage to Lin Zhiyan, and three years of being married in name only, she finally couldn't take it anymore and threw a divorce agreement at the bastard.

After the divorce, Wen Ziqing comes into a huge settlement and lets herself go completely. She dresses up, spends money everywhere, buys clothes and bags, supports her favorite idol, sings love songs with handsome young men, and even takes on a fake sweet girl. Her life is colorful and full.

Lin Zhiyan always thought his wife Wen Ziqing was gentle, home-loving, and virtuous. She was perfect in every way, except that she was too boring.

Until they got divorced

Gentle and home-loving? Virtuous?

He must have been blind.
